    My high school athletic director (who’s a surfer) always did the “missing finger” trick on me (saying a shark bit it off), but I wasn’t a sucker.

    Our neighbor had only a thimb left on his hand, war wound. Always tried not to stare because it was amazing to see how adept he was with it.

    Nelson, if grandpa asks you to pull his finger, Don’t do it!

    I remember going to the midwest to visit families on their farms. There was always at least one of the farmers that was missing fingers or worse, their hands.

    Off the point here, but I sure wish GoComics would carry Sally Forth. Such a rich, rich field for commentary! Can get at seattletimes.com/comics

    When I was a kid, my dad worked in a chain saw store for a while. The owner had only 3 or 4 of his 10 digits left. Gross and fascinating at the same time – he was still quite skilled with his hands; the losses didn’t seem to affect him that much. Looking back, I now regret not having dropped in a few years later to see if he had lost his remaining fingers.

    Due to a farm accident, my brother lost about an inch of his left hand ring finger. He would tell people he saved it, & would bring out a ring box with cotton & red food coloring inside. It had a hole in the bottom through which he inserted another finger. When he took the lid off, people would gasp as they saw the “piece of finger”, & more so when he wiggled it a little.
